Who has the time to read the fine print on an airline ticket? (For some of us, the print’s too small.) Well, Jeanette Pavini does, and she has. In her Buyer Beware column, she explains four important but little-known passengers’ rights. They include why you might want to choose a European carrier over a U.S. carrier (better compensation for delays), and what an airline is liable for when they lose your luggage (more than they’d like you to think).

Whether you’re a frequent business traveler or only fly for leisure, these are rights you want to know about.

Also in our Personal Finance coverage, Paul Farrell writes in his Behavioral Economics column that many advisers and strategists see a strong long-term outlook for equities. That’s good news for some investors. But, he says, what if markets decline further before beginning that big climb into the future? Should you cash out now or just sit tight and keep building your Lazy Portfolio?
